It's a 5 spoke wheel there are only so many ways to make it but I like the TSW one there is a good chance i will get them next year if they make the 9.5 a little concave.
Not a great copy. Stance wheels .. geez. I feel old.

Stance coil-overs are actually not too bad once you move up the line.

The stance wheels have a chrome lip which the vossen do not, here's a pic.

Well the TSWs would definitely be easy to clean which would be a huge perk imo. I agree that the style doesn't really fit our cars but wheels are soooo subjective and it will always depend on the audience. For me, I would want more concave, would be so paranoid anytime my girlfriend pulls up to a curb in these.

The TSW is nice, lighter weight than vossen or stance but don't be fooled by the term forged. Rotary forged is not the same as say a forged monoblock. I believe it's really a type of casting. Still a nice wheel.

I've handled a stance and a vossen before and they are heavy as $@#!
